Meat Free Mondays

Some times my obsessions lead me to discover very worthy causes! I discovered Meat Free Mondays through my weekly stalking of Paul McCartney...hahaha I know I have issues. It is something he and his daughters started. Because it is impracticle to ask people to go Vegetarian, all this is is a once a week break from Meat. Going meat free once a week is good for your body, helps the environment (eating meat releases more green house gases than cars!) and is a way to take a stand against animal cruelty. Now don't get me wrong, I love me some meat but going without it once a week is not hard at all!

I understand that God put animals on the earth for our use and that our bodies really do need meat so I could never go permanently veggie but I also recently watched a video on what goes on in slaughtering houses and I was disgusted! Yes, animals are here for our use but they should not be treated with such inhumanity. They should be treated better and in a sense they should almost be considered sacred. We should be grateful to have these animals to eat and not put them through terrible misery (like slitting their throats while they are still awake!).

If you are still not convinced go to www.supportmfm.org, there are places to read more about meats affect on the environment (since I stink at explaining it!) Also if you don't believe me about the slaughterhouses go to the video of Paul on www.peta.org. Ok enough ranting from me! Please support Meat Free Mondays!
